Recommended Posts

I've never see a live one in the wild but a friend lives up in New River and he has posted pics and video of three different ones at his place over the last couple of months.

I saw one big orange and black one in unit 21 about 10 years ago. He was crossing the road just prior to seven springs. Very cool looking creature.

I couldn't get the video to play. :(

 

Years ago I was climbing up a steep, rocky hill near Wickenburg. Heard a strange hiss and circled back down a few feet to look and there were two of them in a nest they had made in a rocky crag.

 

They came out and read me the riot act for lookin at 'em and chased me down the hill. Don't think for a second they are slow and lumbering, they have a whole higher gear when needed and have an interesting method of gliding down steep hills while paddling with their feet.

 

Lots of them around Lake Pleasant.

I've seen several on the road from Jakes Corner to Roosevelt the last few years. They're really cool lizards.
